Why isn't this guy on Portland's roster ? This guy would be a perfect fit behind LaMarshmelo . He seems to be getting no PT in Orlando . Would like to see Cunningham experiment end ( he is a tweener ) also.

Make the trade, Duffer! The Blazers need more undersized PFs who can't defend.

That wasn't a personal attack and you've probably made HCP cry.

Bastard! (and yes, this is a personal attack)
 
That wasn't a personel attack at all. Just having fun with the rookie saying he doesn't have enough posts to create a thread yet.......... which obviously is NOT a rule around here thus it is funny. There was no personal attack whatsoever! Please fix the reason for your edit.
 
Rook boy needs to bring it better than that! Step your game up son! Mixum makes you look like Corey Matthews on TGIF!

I completely agree. Why the fuck was that post edited? Plus, MIXUM probably wouldn't even start this thread, let alone a guy with 60 posts.
 
Sorry, didn't think it would be appropriate to put "don't be a dick" as the reason it was edited.

Hi, Welcome to S2!
 
Last year I wanted Bass but i'm liking Cunningham more and more. He might get pushed around more then Bass would but their is so much more to his game that Bass just doesn't have.
 
The Bass hype and love continues to grow.
Really, it's probably because he's just not all that good. I think he looks like a banger a whole lot more than he actually is.
 
I didn't even know who Bass was the first time someone mentioned him in a trade proposal. The guy is an apparition as far as I'm concerned. He doesn't exist.

Well they are showcasing him since he can not crack there top 10. But in his defense Orlando (like a growing number of teams) would prefer a PF that stretches the floor. (Like Ryan Anderson)

I think Bass would fill a need for a couple of months. But as stated in the blog, Orlando doesn't really need anything we have to offer. (or anyone else has offered either) They have plenty of Rudy's on their team.

Edit: we would have to give them 3 of our young player to come up with 4 million in trade assets.

You want to see the Cunningham "experiment" end after only one year?
Impatient much.

Donte is going to become what Bass is except he will cost less money short term and will defend better.
 
Interesting I came here because I thought O-Live was childish . I guess I'm not in the "in" crowd .

Anyway , I know Bass didn't play much last year and we need a B/U four who can rebound . I like Cunningham but he is a tweener, what position is he ? Who can he guard ?

Sorry for posting , starting a thread . I won't do it again . :confused:
 
What makes Cunningham a tweener and Bass not? Combine measurements, they had identical standing reaches, and Cunningham was an inch taller in shoes. Cunningham has two inches on him in the vertical, and they benched the same amount.

In playing, Cunningham's one year versus Bass' career, Cunningham had a better TRB%, better offensive and defensive rating. I really don't get the Bass love. If he was pudgy with the same stats, I don't think anybody would like him.

Welcome from O-Live. Nevermind HCP, he's just giving you shit.

There is no "in" crowd. We're a bunch of crowds of one. :)

Please keep posting.

It's just a couple of people. Don't listen to them. We appreciate you taking the time to post here :)

"LaMarshmello" screams your own depth of maturity. Perhaps a different approach next time will yield different responses?

I don't see anything wrong with it. It's not like that term hasn't been thrown here from time to time. I don't understand the hostility towards someone that is relatively new here. If he had started by taking shots at Rudy instead of LMA, would that have been okay?

Welcome aboard son! Just messing with you, like I did EVERY other newbie. The only difference was I got a warning about being banned from here over this one. You must be DennyCrane's nephew or something. Post all you want, but you better bring it strong!

Are you still crying about this?

If you're not getting a post deleted around here every so often you're doing something wrong.

Nor do I. But when the newbie OP whines about posters being "childish", I find the "LaMarshmellow" gloss a bit childish as well.

Yeah, but I don't think it warrants hazing. We're actually having a recruiting contest right now and I don't think the kind of environment we want to project towards newcomers is one of elitism and unwelcoming behavior. I realize HCP was just joking around, but that's because I've been posting with him for years now. A new guy might not get the joke.

BG Fan my comments were not directed at anyone or there opinions re: the Blazers . Describing LA as soft is my opinion . Whether he is or not is one of the purpose's of a message board and is supposed to stimulate conversation.

My reference to O-Live as being "childish" is my opinion. From my experience there seems to be a lot of off topic threads that are not related to the Blazers. Fighting at MT Tabor was a bit childish when I read about a few years ago. Would you agree ? I just chuckled when HCP made comments about starting a thread with only 60 posts . I was a bit confused because it was on topic and seems like a solution to some of the Blazers problems , IMO . I wasn't offended at all . I was just curious if there were rules here that I didn't know about , etc .

So how should I have described LaMarcus as being soft , IMO and then asking about a player who (Bass) is more of a physical player ?

Again, welcome to S2. There was nothing wrong with your original post. Your description of LMA was just fine. People have started threads about LMA calling him much worse.

As far fighting is concerned we all finally realized that it is best to do it in Vancouver because Washington doesn't have Measure 11 sentencing rules.
